NIAGARA 


Is designed to meet the needs and desires of people of moderate 
means who are sick, tired or worried and want to rest, get well and 


forget there ever was such a thing as trouble. 


COTTAGE AT NIAGARA OWNED AND OCCUPIED BY MRS. L. M. CORNELL, OF NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y. 





This region has long been noted for the health and longevity 
of its inhabitants and its freedom from pulmonary, bronchial and 
other diseases. The trees grow to a great height in the open 
forest and give out a balsamic odor that one instinctively feels to 


be a tonic. 


No town in the Sand Belt has such perfect natural drainage as 
NIAGARA. The water is soft and pure. The soil is sand to a depth 
of from 60 to 150 feet, insuring perfect drainage and filtration of 
the water. After a heavy rain the surface is almost immediately 
dry, the soil quickly absorbing any amount of water that may be

poured upon it. For this reason the atmosphere is also dry and 
there can be no possibility of malarial or miasmatic conditions. 
The climate is equable and balmy, the invigorating, aromatic odor 
of the pine trees has the bracing effect of the clear, dry cold of 
the north, with none of its discomforts. 


NIAGARA was opened in November, 1902 and about 400 lots sold 
the first season ; a railroad station, hotel and several cottages built. 
A post office has been established and telephones put in connecting 
NIAGARA with Pinehurst, So. Pines and other surrounding towns. 

A water system of 15,000 gallons capacity daily with high 
pressure is being put in and will be ready for use the coming

season. Other improvements which have been planned for the 
comfort and pleasure of the residents will be pushed forward as 
rapidly as possible. 

We heve no consumptives at NIAGARA—everything is new and 
clean — and the health and happiness of the residents and guests 
within its borders will be carefully guarded and their interests 
always the first consideration of the management. 


A SIGH FOR THE SUNNY SOUTH. 


There’s a hint of winter coming 
In the frosty evening air, 

And my thoughts are roaming Southward, 
Where the skies are warm and fair. 


And when autumn tints the forest And I long for feathery pinions 
With its glowing red and gold, Like the birds, to fly away 

Then I sadly sigh and shiver, From the cold and dreary Northland, 
Thinking of the winter’s cold. In the ‘‘ Sunny South ”’ to stay.

Plans have been formulated and adopted to make NIAGARA

homes freed from the fear of zymotic and bronchial diseases, and

tation conduce to the welfare of the inhabitants. 

Given naturally a perfect condition of soil and climate for ideal 
homes, as at NIAGARA, art and the most advanced scientific in- 
vestigations in sanitation have been availed of to aid mature in her

beneficent design of making NIAGARA the ideal abiding place for 
her children. 

The sanitation of NIAGARA will be perfect, because the 
American System of Sewage Disposal has been adopted as perfected 
by the eminent authority on Sanitation, John N. McClintock, con- 
sulting engineer, of Boston, and President of the American Sewage 


Disposal Company of that city. He has designed purification works 
that are to be built which will protect even the ground water from 
contamination.
